It does for me:

  D:\usr\eli>hunspell -a -D
  SEARCH PATH:
  .;;C:\Hunspell\;D:\usr\eli\.openoffice.org\3\user\wordbook;D:\usr\bin\..\share\hunspell;C:\Program files\OpenOffice.org 2.4\share\dict\ooo\;C:\Program files\OpenOffice.org 2.3\share\dict\ooo\;C:\Program files\OpenOffice.org 2.2\share\dict\ooo\;C:\Program files\OpenOffice.org 2.1\share\dict\ooo\;C:\Program files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\share\dict\ooo\

I'm guessing that you have an old binary of the ported Hunspell.
Please install the latest one from ezwinports and try again.  (I'm
using that myself with Emacs 24.4, and have absolutely no problems.)
This problem indeed existed in the original port, but once I started
using Emacs 24.4, I fixed it and uploaded a fixed binary (in April
this year).
